Harris County TX Inmate Processing Center basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 713-755-6044

The Harris County TX Inmate Processing Center is a medium-security detention center located at 1201 Commerce St Houston, TX which is operated locally by the Harris County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Harris County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Houston Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

How does an inmate make a phone call? Inmates at the Harris County Jail are not allowed to receive phone calls.

Inmates can place collect calls to phone numbers where collect calls are not restricted.

Advance Pay Calls: Advance Pay accounts are set up by the party receiving the calls, allowing them to do so even if their phone number restricts collect calls. Here’s how it works:

  • The party receiving the calls should contact Securus at 1-800-844-6591 to obtain instructions on how to establish an Advance Pay account
  • The inmate dials the phone number
  • The system determines if an Advance Pay account exists and if so, places the call
  • The receiving party must accept the call by following the automated instructions
  • The cost of the call is deducted from the Advance Pay account balance
  • if you're paying more than $3.15 per call - click here to get the lower rates

Jail Phone Call Rules:

  • Calls may be recorded and/or monitored
  • Any attempt to call transfer or conference call will disconnect the call
  • Calls to some phone numbers may be restricted by the jail for security reasons
